A woman just called me about 30 minutes ago. Voice shaking and trembling with fear underneath.

Her favourite pet dog has been acting weird.

Experience minutes of seizure (tonic-clonic), it stops after which the dog start running 440 before regaining consciousness. Image
Image
I tried my best to calm her down and explain the basis to her.

Apparently the dog is due for vaccine since January, however she said her vet asked her to wait till September to synchronise with her other dog's vaccination.

How? Why? On what basis?

I don't know 🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️
Apparently, judging from my experience and years of practice, the culprit is CDV!

I promised to check up on the dog once day break!

She was so happy that I was available to pick her call at such an odd hour and giving her rapt attention despite not knowing her.

God gave Moses 50 chapters of instructions for a tent.

Fifty.

More space in the Bible is devoted to the design of the Tabernacle than to the creation of the universe.

That's not an accident.

Every measurement, material, and color was pointing to something, and once you see it, you can't unsee it.

A thread. 🧵Image
The reason for the Tabernacle is stated plainly:

Exodus 25:8 — "Let them make me a sanctuary, that I may dwell in their midst."

This is staggering.
The infinite God of the universe wanted to live among a wandering group of former slaves in a desert.

The Hebrew word מִשְׁכָּן (mishkan) means "dwelling place."

The entire structure exists to answer one question that runs through all of Scripture:

How can a holy God dwell among an unholy people without destroying them?

Everything in the design is an answer to that question.
There was only one entrance to the entire courtyard.

One gate. One way in. (Exodus 27:16)

Not multiple paths. Not "find your own door."

Every Israelite who wanted to approach God came through the same single entrance.

Centuries later, Jesus would say: "I am the door. If anyone enters by me, he will be saved." (John 10:9)

The architecture itself was teaching a truth long before it was spoken aloud: access to God comes through one appointed way, not many.Image

I have today signed the NIMC Act 2026 into law.

For nearly twenty years, Nigeria’s identity system operated under a law written for a different era. That era is over.

This new Act gives our nation a modern, secure and digital identity framework fit for the Nigeria we are building, a Nigeria on the path to becoming a one-trillion-dollar economy.Image
2/
This law makes NIMC the Root Certification Authority for Nigeria’s National Public Key Infrastructure and Digital Public Infrastructure. With this, NIMC now holds the keys to trust in our digital economy: every digital signature, every secure transaction, and every verified identity.

This is how serious nations build digital economies, and we are building one for Nigeria.Image
3/
I will not allow the data of Nigerians to be treated carelessly.

This Act aligns our identity system with the Nigerian Data Protection Act. The act expressly says your personal information cannot be accessed without your consent. It cannot be used beyond the purpose for which you gave it, and any access must go through proper legal channels.

This is your right as a Nigerian, and this law protects it.

As a general matter, my advice isn't really "go to this store" or "buy this brand." Rather, I encourage people to think about clothes in a certain way.

Let me show you how to shop for a good suit. 🧵
My advice isn't really about brands or stores because everyone has unique fit challenges they have to solve. Perhaps you have forward pitched shoulders or a barrel chest. Or maybe you have big thighs and a prominent seat. No single suit will work for everyone. Image
Image
When shopping for a suit, it helps to know how they're made. Suit jackets and sport coats are unique in that they're made from layers of haircloth, canvas, and padding, which are shaped through darts, pad stitching, and ironwork. This is how you get the 3D shape. Image

I want you to look at this chart before you read anything else.

68,094 people. Over 60. The group with the highest LDL cholesterol lived the longest.

More LDL. Less death.

Everything your doctor told you about cholesterol is built on the assumption that this chart should not exist.

It does.

(Ravnskov U, et al. BMJ Open, 2016. Systematic review of 19 cohort studies. N=68,094)Image
My doctor blamed the fire engines for the fire.

I was 52. I had just had a heart attack. My LDL was 110. Normal.

He looked at my cholesterol panel and said I needed a statin. To lower my LDL. To reduce my risk.

He never asked what started the fire. He just tried to remove the fire engines from the scene.

That was the moment I started asking questions.
Your body makes LDL on purpose. Every single day.

LDL is a transport vehicle. It carries fat-soluble vitamins to your cells. It delivers cholesterol to build cell membranes. It supports hormone production. It fuels brain function. It responds to injury and infection as part of your immune defense.

Your liver produces it because your body needs it to survive. It is not a toxin. It is not a mistake. It is a delivery truck doing its job.

The question was never whether LDL exists at the scene. The question is what caused the damage it was sent to repair.

On 31 October 1943, a captured SS officer from Hitler's brutal death squad was bugged at Latimer House by the British.

He calmly described seeing Auschwitz from the train and knowing no one came out alive.

Then he recounted mass executions of 5000 Jews in one day:
(🧵) Image
On 31 October 1943, an SS officer was brought to Latimer House after capture in Italy. He was no ordinary SS officer, but from one of Hitler’s infamously brutal and merciless death squads – Einsatz-Kommando 3, Sicherheits-Polizei (Security Police).

Holding a rank equivalent to sergeant major, this SS Hauptscharführer came from one of the highest positions in Hitler’s Secret Police. Special reports generated from the M Room merely give him the codename M320.

(continued)
M320: I know the Auschwitz concentration camp in Poland by hearsay. Actually you can see it from the train. It is a hutted camp for Jews. I heard say that there’s a crematorium there, and that no one who enters the camp comes out alive.

M322: I heard a lot in Vienna about Mauthausen.

M320: I personally haven’t seen any concentration camp, apart from Auschwitz, which I saw from the train. It’s not far from Cracow.

M322: Oh, down there.

M320: Yes. When you go through by train you can see it.

M322: Were mainly Jews sent there?

M320: Yes. I should be interested to know what they have done with all the Jews in the Reich, and then the ones from Austria, since they started to get rid of the Jews. I wonder whether they’ve slaughtered them?

OpenAI gave METR early access to GPT-5.6 Sol for testing including raw chain-of-thought, a railfree version of the model, and internal information about the model. With this access, METR conducted a pre-deployment evaluation of GPT-5.6 Sol, including an attempted measurement of its 50%-Time Horizon. However, the measurement depends heavily on our treatment of cheating attempts, and GPT-5.6 Sol’s detected cheating rate was higher than any public model we have evaluated.
If we follow our standard methodology of marking cheating attempts as failures, we arrive at a 50%-Time Horizon point estimate of around 11.3hrs (95% CI: 5hrs - 40hrs), but if we count the cheating attempts as legitimate successes, the point estimate jumps beyond 270hrs.
This makes us uncertain about GPT-5.6 Sol’s time horizon, but additional information provided by OpenAI and the long-term trend in AI capabilities lead us to believe this model does not pose catastrophic risks from fully automated AI R&D.

THE EVENING WALK IS THE MOST UNDERUSED RESET BUTTON IN DAILY LIFE:

1. It fixes your digestion
1. It fixes your digestion

Sitting after eating slows everything down. A short walk gets your gut moving. Bloating reduces. Blood sugar stabilizes. Your body was built to move after meals,not collapse on a couch.
2. It ends your workday properly

Most people don't finish work. They just stop. The laptop closes but the mind keeps running. An evening walk draws a clear line between work and rest. Without that line, you carry the office to bed.
